I've seen this behavior even with cross-platform apps. The problem is
that the Finder checks to see whether the app is runnable before the
copy has completed, so the app looks corrupted from the Finder's
perspective.
The workaround is to copy the app with a temporary name for the bundle
(e.g. prefix a dot, to hide it), then rename it when the copy completes
(e.g. remove the prefixed dot). That gives the Finder a hint to re-check it.

It is telling you that it can't run the application (the added
graphic is added by Finder). For instance, you don't have a universal
built application and you copied an application built for an intel
machine onto a PowerPC machine.

I created a Cocoa application and added an icon file to the bundle,
and everything looks great on my dev box. What I want to do however
is copy this app to remote locations and start it automatically. The
copying stuff is all done and it works too, but the weird thing is,
once the application gets copied to the remote client, the icon has
this weird extra layer on top that looks like a white delete symbol
or a no smoking symbol, a circle with a line across it. Behind that
is my little icon... I checked the icns file and it is unchanged, I
checked permissions and they are rw-r--r-- which should be fine, no?
Anybody ever heard of anything like this?
